MFD - Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Lyman L. Handy Series: Ripudaman Malhotra

Speaker: Ripudaman Malhotra, SRI International
Talk Title: Getting Real About Energy in Cubic Miles of Oil
Series: MFD Lyman L. Handy
Abstract: I co-wrote A Cubic Mile of Oil as a call for an informed public debate on energy, arguably the biggest challenge we face. In this talk I will discuss this book, which is a citizen's guide to energy, aiming to make all the technical discussion accessible and relatable. The book uses a simple visualizable measure, a cubic mile of oil (CMO), as the metric for comparing all global energy flows. As we look for alternate greener ways of producing energy, it is vital we get the scale of our solutions commensurate with the magnitude of the challenge. By the middle of this century, the global energy demand is expected to rise to somewhere between 6 and 9 CMO. Where are we going to get the energy? The debate about energy supply has often been portrayed as a tension between the moral imperative of protecting the environment or preserving the economic interests of the energy industry. This will explore the challenge that we face in balancing the tension between protecting the environment and the moral imperative of providing adequate affordable energy to people around the earth.

CS Colloquium: Xifeng Yan (UC Santa Barbara) - Graph Analysis and Search in Networks
Thu, Oct 15, 2015 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Xifeng Yan, University of California at Santa Barbara
Talk Title: Graph Analysis and Search in Networks
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Computer Science Research Colloquium
In this talk, I will first give an overview about graph data mining and data management studies conducted in my lab and then introduce two projects related to analyzing and searching collaborative and information networks. Collaborative networks are composed of experts who cooperate with each other to complete specific tasks, such as resolving problems reported by customers. We attempt to deduce the cognitive process of task routing and model the decision making of experts. We formalize multiple routing patterns by taking into account both rational and random analysis of tasks, and present a generative model to combine them.
In the second part of my talk, I will show the challenge of querying complex graphs such as knowledge graphs and introduce a novel framework enabling schemaless graph querying (SLQ), where a user need not describe queries precisely as required by SQL. I will also brief our new progress in benchmarking graph queries.
This lecture will be available to stream HERE.
Biography: Xifeng Yan is an associate professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He holds the Venkatesh Narayanamurti Chair of Computer Science.
